TIE DRYAD.

Within these dells
A dryad dEelis
Amid the w!nd-blown pimpernels;
Yet none have seen
Per trip between
The glimmering vistas' green,
Though many feel her mystic spells.
May 1t be mine
- Some nom divine
To see her futtering garments shine,
And hear the beat
Oihurrying net
Upon the ferns and grasses sweet,
And catch her laughter. airy fine.
For whose sees
Amid the trees
Her form that Ike phantom feee,
To him alone
There shall be shown
Deep secrets to no mortal known,
All NATURES subtle mysteries
What rushes Fay
at dusk of day;
The perfect prayer that lilies pray;
The amorous art
To win heart
Unfolding rosebuds might impart;
Where hides the will-C'-the.wisp away.
Why fire flies light
Their Lanterns bright
On each serene midsummer night;
The words that float
On every note,
That wells from out feathered throat;
Where insect armies take their flight.
All this, and more,
Shall DC his store

The Knoxville Tribune, for some

a terrible enemy OF Bob Taylor, but
its hatred reached the outer bounds of
meanness when away down in the lit

ceived the idea OF stabbing the Gov

of his father. This is a serious charge
but, before God, we believe it to be
true, The Knotuille Weekly Tribune
OF April 9th, is before us. 1t contains
twelve columns OF abuse, of falsehood
and misrepresentation of the living son
but not line in regard to the dead
father. Itfound room enough for a

DR.. Taylor was acknowledged to be

The contract for building a railroad

about II miles north of Cumberland

Had Knoxville any proper enterprise

Nashville builds line past her twenty
miles on the North, and Chattanooga
builds two lines behind her on the

Interstate Commerce Question,

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The inter-
state commerce commission began ac-
tive work yesterday, and gave an in
formal hearing to Ex-Governor Rufus
B. Bullock, DR.. R. d. Spaulding and
Mr. S, F. Woodson, a committee APP
pointed by the Atlantic Chamber of
Commerce "to cooperate with the
Southern Railway and Steamship AS
ISOLATION in seeking such liberal inter-
probation or modification of the opera
ton OF the interstate commerce act as
may be deemed necessary for the pro-
lection Of the manufacturing and COM
mercial interests OF this and other
Southern societies" A paper was read
stating that the territory covered, by
the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association is comparatively sparsely
populated and that the trade centres
or distributive cities within that terri
tory are widely separated, and there
fore that rule which would apply to
lines in more pcpulous sections Of the
country would be disastrous to the
South. The petitioners further repre-
scented that the rates now in force are
acceptable to Southern shippers, and
that the sudden increase in rates
would disorgani2e and paralyze the
trade centres upon and through which
wholesale dealers have established
their extended business. They there
fore asked the commission to suspend
the operation of the law in the terrific
ry south Of the Potomac and Ohio and
east of the Mississippi rivers until the
commission has investigated the ques-
ton. A comparative statement sub
mitted showed the rates from New
York to Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma,
Rome Dalton and Chattanooga will be
increased from 81 IA to 81 Al ; to Ma
con from 81 90 to 81 85: to Augusta
from SO cents to 81 q from Cincin-
natl to Atlanta from 81 OF to 81 26 f;
to Macon and Augusta from 81 OF to
81 46.
Afterwards a hearing was given to
representatives of the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association. Mr.
Milton II. Smith, vice-president Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, ex'
planned the character of the association
and said that everything in the nature
OF an allotment of traffic ordinarily
termed pooling arrangement had
been eliminated. Mr.. Smith said his
company had received notices from al
the great lines OF the North that from
and after the 9TH instant all existing
traffic arrangements must cease
